Representative Example (based on the purchase of an investment property):

The Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) varies with the circumstances of each mortgage. Here is a representative example of a loan secured on your investment property: A mortgage of £125,000 on a capital and interest (repayment) basis payable over 25 years initially on a discounted variable rate of 1.79% (equal to 3.9% discount off our Standard Variable Rate (SVR)) for 2 years and then on our SVR of 5.69% (variable) for the remaining 23 years you would pay:

1 monthly repayment of £85.82, followed by
36 monthly repayments of £516.39, followed by
264 monthly repayments of £757.07

The total amount payable would be £221,769.50, made up of the loan amount of £125,000 plus interest (£96,430.50) with an application fee of £199, funds transfer fee of £20 and legal fee of £120. The overall cost for comparison is 5.0% APRC representative.
